Manatee Alert vs KnowWake

Manatee Alert helps users be better informed, protect these threatened animals, and contribute to preserving our environment.

The map will not follow your position properly without GPS. ►► GPS WARNING - Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
